Pros

Great way to learn sales in a niche industry and learn how to deal with high profile and high intensity clients in a fast paced environment

Cons

Management on the US side at the time (pre-2020) was not well organized or well run, and often blamed larger operational failures on reps

Pros

I spent over 5 years with the company, as a manager in Wellington, FL. It was a fabulous experience, with a very enthusiastic team and a lot of commitment to the project. I highly recommend this company, as it will allow you to develop as a professional, and meet great people who will make you feel part of the team.

Cons

It's a quite demanding company, but this is the kind of challenge that I like. That being said, the company gives you some opportunities to grow if you are commited to the project. It's a win/win situation.

Pros

- You get to work with a roster of amazing trainers and clients.

Cons

- Toxic and borderline abusive management, racist/homophobic/sexist behavior toward clients and staff. - Unreasonable expectations to work 80+ hours per week for less than 40k per year. 24k base. Will often pitch potential for $80k+ to get you to take the job. Expect 100% exclusivity without option to supplement with any groom/riding/etc jobs. - Massive issues with product quality control and internal customer service policies. - Will respond to PR problems/customer complaints by telling reps just to deal with it, work harder. - Do yourself a favor and steer clear of any LIM Group brands (Butet, CWD, Devoucoux, Albion.)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are deeply sorry to hear about your negative experience and take your concerns very seriously. We are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment and do not tolerate any form of discrimination, including racism, homophobia, or sexism. Any behavior that contradicts these values is unacceptable, and we encourage employees to report such incidents so that immediate action can be taken. Since your comment was posted, we have invested in training and development for our management team to ensure they provide better support and leadership. Regarding compensation and work hours, we acknowledge that the job’s demands can be challenging, particularly in the first year, as building a client base requires substantial effort and dedication. Our compensation structure includes a base salary that provides security if sales objectives are not met, with opportunities for significant earning potential through commissions. This base salary also increases as monthly objectives are achieved. Given that this is a full-time outside sales role, it is expected that employees dedicate themselves fully to their work to succeed, which is made clear from the initial interview with HR. We strive for full transparency during the hiring process. In the second round of interviews, the contract and compensation structure are presented to candidates, along with specific details about the assigned territory provided by the sales manager. This ensures accurate insights into what to expect in the first year. After a six-week training program and a few months in the field, HR checks in with sales reps to confirm that the information was clearly communicated and to gather feedback on improving our recruitment process. We also recognize the concerns around product quality control and customer service policies. Since your comment, we’ve implemented stricter quality control measures and improved our customer service protocols to enhance the client experience and better support our sales representatives. However, customer complaints related to poor saddle fittings must be addressed directly by the saddle fitter, with support from their manager and the office, to ensure that the client’s needs are met as effectively as possible. We remain dedicated to creating a supportive and fair work environment for all our employees and to maintaining the highest standards of quality and service for our clients.
